OBJECTIVES
To examine associations between occupation and respiratory health in a large, population-based cohort of adults in the United States.
METHODS
Data from 15,273 participants, aged 45 to 64 years, in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study were used to examine associations of current or most recent job held with the prevalence of self-reported chronic cough, chronic bronchitis, wheezing, asthma, and measures of lung function collected by spirometry.
RESULTS
Eleven percent of participants reported wheezing and 9% were classified as having airway obstruction. Compared with individuals in managerial and administrative jobs, increased prevalences of respiratory outcomes were observed among participants in selected occupations, including construction and extractive trades (wheezing, prevalence ratio = 1.92, 95% confidence interval = 1.35, 2.73; airway obstruction, prevalence ratio = 1.31, 95% confidence interval = 1.05, 1.65).
CONCLUSIONS
Specific occupations are associated with adverse respiratory health.
目的
在美国一项大型基于人群的成年人队列研究中，研究职业与呼吸健康之间的关联。
方法
使用动脉粥样硬化风险社区研究中 15273 名年龄在 45 至 64 岁的参与者的数据，研究当前或最近所从事的工作与自我报告的慢性咳嗽、慢性支气管炎、喘息、哮喘以及通过肺功能测定仪收集的肺功能测量值的患病率之间的关联。
结果
11%的参与者报告有喘息，9%的参与者被归类为存在气道阻塞。与从事管理和行政工作的人相比，在某些特定职业（包括建筑和采掘业）的参与者中，观察到呼吸结局的患病率增加，包括建筑和采掘业（喘息，患病率比=1.92，95%置信区间=1.35，2.73；气道阻塞，患病率比=1.31，95%置信区间=1.05，1.65）。
结论
特定职业与不良呼吸健康有关。
